Nice job pitching by Homer, would look even more impressive if the starting pitching had not been so incredible on this losing streak.
With his pitch count he possibly could not send Homer back out, I thought we would see what Chapman comes back with…

Yeah, Homer sitting at 107 pitches. I’d like to see Chapman come in and finish it, especially considering the Reds are off tomorrow. Of course it isn’t a save situation and with the way Chapman has been pitching lately and the way Bailey is pitching right now, maybe Dusty thinks that Bailey gives the team the best chance for a much needed win.

@homerandbruce: Chapman recently closed a game in a non-save situation, when Mike Leake was taken out with 1 out in the 9th. One more base runner and it would have been a save situation, but he didn’t wait.
